Luckily the Giants locked down the always hard to fill position of RB.

Now comes adding the plug and play QB and they’re set.

I’d be pretty stoked to get my choice of Haskins or Lock, even if I had to trade up.  Those guys are studs.

This would hit so much harder if the Giants had a chance to draft Mayfield last year and didn't. Instead they passed on every other rookie QB, who all looked terrible, and drafted the OROY. 

I like Haskins a lot. The rest are eh at best.

You think the Ravens would have went with Lamar over Baker?

If the 12 playoff teams lost their starting QB and RB then 12 out of 12 of them would pick Baker.

Not the Eagles. Had Saquon been in our Backfield,  it's possibly back 2 back.

We did lose both!

Very true they didn’t have a crack at Mayfield, but I’d much rather be headed into year two with either Darnold or even Rosen as opposed to any QB in this class, Haskins included (and I’m a Buckeye fan).

The fact that a RB looked good and a QB looked “terrible” as 21 year olds doesn’t really mean much, unless you feel the need for immediate validation of the pick. You’re not drafting a QB for his rookie season.  You expect them to struggle.  Hell, you hope they’re hitting their stride by year 3.

A RB should hit the ground running.

Just my opinion...

Your Opinion is pretty spot on. What the past 3 of 4, maybe 4 of 5, rookie classes, we have seen one and maybe two rookie RBs come into the league and absolutely light it up. With two of them in Zeke and Kamara looking like the best or at least top5 for the position group.

you draft a RB in the top10 he better be playing at least like a top10 RB his rookie year. That is the expectation for RBs. You draft a QB in the top10, you expect them to be at least a top15 QB by their 3rd year. 

Hell its like where you draft a RB, is where you suspect them to be. You take a RB top5 he better be a top5 RB that year.

Trade Wentz for Barkley then, instant championship.

1. No because that would make the Giants a championship contender immediately.
2. I am saying there isn't any doubt in my mind specifically this year because no team really impressed in the playoffs. Hell the Eagles STILL might have won it had Alshon not bobbled that pass that was subsequently picked off.
